The Minibrute has a keyboard (with aftertouch I think) and an arpeggiator.

Plus they both sound different. Listen to demos online and try to figure out which one will fill a void in your current selection of gear._________________JacobWatters.com

Can the Microzwerg also function as a controller and Midi 2 CV converter? I know the Minibrute doesn't send midi messages other than note on/off. I always wanted a (semi) modular synth but the Minibrute also seems to be a pretty cool synth although it has only one OSC, but it has features that most other synths don't have plus it has the Steiner-Parker filter. I would be tempted to get both, but I would have to dip into my college funds and I'd rather avoid that. Hmmm decisions, decisions..

PS: is the Microzwerg now a fully analog or virtual analog/analog modeling synth? I know I said they were both analog but I didn't find any mentioning about it, so I assumed that it has a fully analog signal path

Welll... I got the Microzwerg, mainly because I like to experiment and it's a (semi) modular synth for a relatively low price, however I'm still looking into getting the Minibrute, but now I'm conflicted between that, a Realistic MG1 and a Yamaha CS15. However $800 for the Yamaha seems a bit high. Hmmmm...

CS15 would IMHO be a no brainer but I am not a fan of the Minibrute and not huge fan of the Moog "sound" - personally I'd probably look at the Basstation 2 or an SEM patchpanel (which would be my next choice of analog)._________________Autocorrect is becoming my new enema .......

Well, here's an update - I got the Microzwerg AND the CS15 AND the MG1... and now I'm waiting for an PAIA 2720 to arrive at my door step
The MG1 however is in pieces because the keys wouldn't play right (varying volume, or not at all) and they are extremely corroded thus need a lot of careful scraping and scratching one at a time.. ugh.. but I'm happy with what I got. But now I'm conflicted AGAIN.. Minibrute vs Bass Station II. Any opinions about these two?

Yeah the specs look pretty good. What are your opinions on the Paia 2700/2720? I paid $500 for it and am waiting anxiously for it to arrive. You think it's a good modular or did I throw money out for a piece of crap? I'd like to see a decent, raw demo of it, not just some random patching and noodling around on a badly built Paia modular and I don't care much for heavily processed multitracked demos. I would like to see a raw, informative, cool demo of this synth.
